FAQ

What is the lug width of the Montblanc Timewalker 106501?

The lug width of the Montblanc Timewalker 106501 is 20 millimetres. This dimension is specific to the current generation of the Timewalker and permits the use of any aftermarket strap with 20mm lug width, provided the height and concavity are compatible with the case morphology.

Which strap pairs best with the Montblanc Timewalker 106501 in red gold?

For the 18-carat red gold version paired with stainless steel, we recommend a strap in alligator or fine leather. Tobacco brown or deep black alligator enhances the warm tone of red gold, whilst leather with vegetable tanning evolves over time, acquiring a patina that reflects the understated elegance of the watch.

How do I change the strap on the Montblanc Timewalker 106501?

Remove the current strap using a spring bar tool (specialised implement for the pins). Insert the tool into the small hole of the spring-loaded pin, lift gently to release the pin from its seat, extract it and replace it. Align the new strap holes with the lugs, push the pin until both sides engage. We recommend authorised service at Casati Milano to preserve the timepiece.

Can I use an aftermarket strap compatible with the Montblanc Timewalker 106501?

Yes, any strap with 20mm lug width is theoretically compatible. However, for a hybrid red gold and steel case of this prestige, we recommend artisanal straps in vegetable leather, alligator, or technical rubber of elevated quality, which respect the aesthetics and construction of the watch.

How long does a leather strap last on a watch like the Timewalker 106501?

A fine leather or alligator strap, with proper maintenance, typically lasts 3 to 5 years. Longevity depends on frequency of use, exposure to moisture and perspiration, and daily care. To extend lifespan, rotate straps periodically and apply specific balms every six months.
